Why advertise with Brisbane Indian Times?
Brisbane Indian Times understands the importance of allocating your advertising budget to the correct medium. We are proud to offer our clients maximum exposure!
When deciding where to allocate your advertising dollar you should consider the following;
Exposure - There is no point advertising if only a handful of people are going to see it, your business will not reap the rewards nor see a return in your investment.
* Brisbane Indian Times has over 400 distribution points with guaranteed delivery to all outlets and to ensure that, the newspaper is professionally delivered by a Courier Service.
* Online exposure - all advertisers receive a free listing in the business directory (run on lines) on www.indiantimes.com.au for the term of their advertising.
* Online exposure - Readers can download a copy of the latest issue as well as access archived issues.
* Encompassing all communities / religions / proffessions, Brisbane Indian Times offers advertisers a wide range of prospective clients.
Balanced content:Brisbane Indian Times focuses to deliver a newspaper that is of benefit to both the advertiser and the reader. With that in mind we ensure that every issue has a balanced ratio of editorial to adverts. Research shows that readers are more inclined to pick up a publication that has more editorial content and that adverts are more noticable when placed by an editorial. Feedback from advertisers has shown that their advertisement in Brisbane Indian Times has generated a higher rate of interest than any  other similar publication.
More bang for your buck!! - Advertisers should be aware of the exact space they are paying for, different publications have different advert sizes. Although offered as ½ page or full page etc, it is worth taking into consideration the actual advert size. Are you receiving the best rate for cm’s allocated? Being a traditional newspaper and not a magazine our advert sizes are larger than other similar publications!
A full page is exactly that - 38cm height x 26cm width, utilising the entire page space and not leaving large white borders around the advert! This follows on with all other advert sizes.
Advertisers signing contracts of minimum of 3 months are also entitled to a free editorial in the month of their choice. All advertisers receive a free business directory listing (run on lines) on our website regardless of term of contract.
